equilibrium constant (1 Viewer)

[the-intercepter]

ok , let me get this straight

k decreases with temp. (endothermic reaction)?

k increases with temp. (exothermic reaction) ??

 

[statix]

For a reaction that is endothermic in the forward direction, increasing the temperature favours the forward reaction meaning products > reactant which will increase k.

Opposite for exothermic obviously.

thanks

how much do we need to know about the equilibrium constant? i know nothing about it!

 

[the-intercepter]

ill tell ya about 12:30 tommrow afternoon lol

I just checked coz i was always wrong and those sort of questions are always worth 3-4 marks

For endothermic equilibria, K increases with increasing temperature. For exothermic equilibria, K decreases with increasing temperature. (From the Macquarie Book)

outside the syllabus now

Yeah, its just for Industrial Chemistry option.

outside the syllabus now

you just made my night.

only 18 hours til its ALL OVER

Yeah, its just for Industrial Chemistry option.

he is right =[

 

[kangms]

it is in the syllabus..= =. It is in the Macquarie Book for Industrial Chemistry.

its not hard to deduce either.
